Default 92 coolant temp sensor ?

Which sensor does the digital dash use for coolant temp? The digital readout always reads 178, but the analog gauge appears to function correctly.

From what I remember the sensor in the rear (between #6 and 8 cyl)passenger side head is the one for the analog gauge. The digital is from the actual Coolant temp sensor (the one with 2 wires) The analog gauge feed is the single wire one.

It's on the front of the water pump.

If it always reads 178 then the sensor under in the engine block under the #6 cylinder is bad or isn't connected. I just fixed mine. I busted it putting headers on.
